This year, Okinawa commemorates 50 years of reversion from American rule to being part of Japan again. Thus, we did many activities about PEACE in Kinder.
慰霊の日がある今週は、平和週間として、戦争や平和について考えるアクティビティを行っています。
K1 friends listened to many stories, made their dove craft and drew their peace art.
K2 friends also did many activities about PEACE. We started with a story.
Then, we had activities like “Friends Around the World”, “Are you a peace maker or peace breaker?” and “Helping Each Other during the war in Okinawa”.
After that, we learned the money of Japan, America, Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan.
Then, we used money during our Special Activity when they used yen to enjoy buying pizza and ice cream, watching the aquarium and zootopia, and playing the traditional Japanese games and ring toss.
今年は、沖縄県にとって本土復帰５０年にあたる年ということで、円やドルを使い、戦前、戦後、本土復帰の県民のくらしを体験型アクティビティを通して学びました。
G5 friends also came to share with us the craft that they have learned from TAIWAN FRIENDS. G5 students explained that the Taiwan students taught Amicus students in the past how to make it. It’s all about connecting with other people in different countries, working together to create peace and passing on traditions. They enjoyed making and playing Kendama together. **The blue bird is a blue magpie (the national bird of Taiwan) in the picture is one of the gifts that we received from our Taiwan friends last year.***
In addition, Okinawa Peace Memorial Day (慰霊の日) is always celebrated every June 23rd. Today, we hope that you can find quiet time to remember the past, celebrate the present and hope for a more peaceful life in Okinawa and the whole world.
今日は、慰霊の日です。この３日間子どもたちは、子どもたちなりに、平和について感じ、考えています。ぜひ、ご家庭でもお話してみてください。
Also, we have PEACE ASSEMBLY on Friday, June 24th, 2022. Please don’t forget to let your child wear their Formal Uniform on that day. **Some Kinder friends already brought their FORMAL UNIFORM and kept them in school.
２４日（金曜日）は平和集会を行います。子どもたちに忘れずにフォーマルユニフォームを持たせてください。
